Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now supports physical data migration via Oracle Recovery Manager cross-platform Transportable Tablespaces (RMAN XTTS). As of today, you can migrate sets of tablespaces to RDS for Oracle using Oracle RMAN XTTS to simplify movement of large amounts of data and reduce application downtime for a physical data migration.

The lawyer who used an AI programme to draw up his case revealed the fragility of bots and their dependence on human programming. No programmer told the AI bot used by the lawyer that the legal cases cited in a lawsuit needed to be genuine cases. In the absence of any such programming the bot …

I was unwittingly amazed yesterday when I came across a video about how Clupet piston rings are made (and learned the word ‘Clupet’ at the same time). Unlike a car piston ring which is a single ring with a small gap, a Clupet ring has two turns (see photo from the Peter’s Railway YouTube video, …

There was once a tech pioneer who gave this advice to the young: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And …

Spire Global, the space analytics company with offices in Glasgow, has successfully launched two satellites carrying optical inter-satellite link (OISL) payloads that will reduce data latency and strengthen communication security. The 6U satellites, pictured, are equipped with optical communications terminals (OCT) to send information between themselves securely and reduce the latency of data acquired, says …

IBM has shown that quantum computers can produce accurate results at a scale of 100+ qubits reaching beyond leading classical approaches. One of the ultimate goals of quantum computing is to simulate components of materials that classical computers have never efficiently simulate. But today’s quantum systems are inherently noisy and they produce a significant number of …

The EU has passed a draft bill on AI regulation which could, after further legislative processes, become law in 2026.  The draft categorises AI as either “unacceptable,” “high,” “limited” or “minimal.”  Unacceptable examples are  AI that manipulates vulnerable groups of people, which leads to predictive policing systems and which employs biometric categorisation using gender, race, …
